Altera Game Jam

Game Jams are events where people get together to create games during a fixed amount of time, we give you 48 hours.

Our concept is based around partnerships with developers and their games. Their creations will then serve as the basis for the game you will make during the jam. We encourage you to explore different graphic styles and/or genres.

If you are a game designer, programmer, vistual artist, writer or musician with a passion for game making, this event is for you. The amount of experience you have is irrelevant, you only need a high level of motivation.

To better understand what we mean by all of this, here are some game examples that came ouf of our last jam. You can also check out some videos made by our media partners Critic Play. Although they are in portuguese, you can at least get a better picture about how we setup things.

For more information and news regarding this and future events, please follow us on Facebook.

- Passion to create games

Optional:

- Other devices (if you wish to make games for consoles, mobiles, etc)

Facilities:

- We have microwaves

- There is a mall nearby called Alvaláxia, that has a supermarket (Lidl).

- You also have a room to take breaks and catch some sleep (we prioritize people that come from outside of Lisbon, but its not exclusive to them) - PENDING CONFIRMATION.

In order to survive and make good friends during the game jam, you should bring food and drinks. Fortunately for us there is a supermarket close by in Alvaláxia. There’s also microwaves that you can use, to heat your meals

How to get here:
There are some parking places but they can be a bit expensive, so we encourage you to take the metro and get off at Campo Grande station. You can take the green line or the yellow line to get there.
If you must bring a car, as an alternative you can park in Telheiras where parking is free. You can then take the metro to Campo Grande, its only one station.
